Miraculous image and monastery

Maximilian von Sala acquired the local castle in 1676. In gratitude for his child's recovery, he had a chapel built opposite with an image of Our Lady , which was in his wife's possession, and founded a Servite monastery at this location in 1693 . This was continuously expanded by his descendants. After the Servite Monastery was closed in 1978, Discalced Carmelites erected the Mater Dolorosa Carmel there in 1985 .

The place, which until then had only been called Jeutendorf , changed its name to Maria Jeutendorf on September 18, 1988, the festival of Our Lady of Sorrows .
